This invention relates to a printers galley and is particularly concerned with a novel construction of galley which may be utilized for holding a plurality of galleys of type. The invention consists in many novel details of construction and arrangements of parts for providing an effective printers galley of the type described, on which the usual galley lock may be used with any compartment of the galley to lock the type in place and on which, by reason of the structure of the galley, suitable label holders may be placed one for each section or compartment of the galley to indicate the material contained in any compartment of said galley.

An understanding of the invention for the attainment "of the ends stated may be had from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the new and improved galley of my invention, and

Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section through the galley.

Like reference characters refer to like parts in the different figures of the drawing.

In the construction of the galley, a tray having a flat bottom 1 is made from sheet metal and at each side edge the metal is turned upwardly to provide vertical sides 2, while at one end the metal is correspondingly bent upwardly to make a front 3, any suitable connection of the sides 2 and the front 3 at the corners being used. In practice a tongue integral with and extending from each of the sides 2 is bent to bear against the other side of the front 3 and is spot welded thereto.

It will be noted that in bending the sides 2 upwardly from the bottom 1 an outwardly projecting head 4 is made directly at each side edge of the bottom 1 which extends outwardly beyond the vertical plane of each side 2. This permits sliding the galleys into suitable cabinets or racks for the purpose, having horizontal side guides with which the heads 4 engage and with the fronts 3 of the galleys located at the front of the cabinet. The same character of bead is made when the front 3 is turned upwardly from the 1 9281 Serial no. 284,309.

bottom of the tray but such bead on'the front has" no particular function other than reinforcement and avoidance of rounded corners against which type may engage -The space back of the front and between the" sides 2 of the galleyis divided into a number-of galley sections or compartments. Channel bars having horizontal webs 5 and upwardly extending spaced apart vertical legs 6 are l'aid'on the bottom 1 of the galley in properly spaced relation and with the legs 6 parallelto the sides 2,, and in such position are permanen-tl y secured to the bottom preferably by jspotweldin'g thereto.

The gallfey'thus divided into a plurality of compartments is particularly useful: not only forstorag'e in a'suitable cabinet therefor, but the" upstanding sides 2' and legs 6' each are adapted to have the conventional and wellknown type of galley lock mounted thereon for locking the type located any section of the galley in place against disarrangement. Itis also evident that, as may at times occur, if it is desirable 'to reinforce and strengthen or add to the appearance of the g'al'le'ys the sides 52 may be extended and bent outfi vardl'y back upon themselves and in such case the legs 6 will be extended. and bent inwardly back upon themselves (so that the same galley-leek isavailable 'for both the sides 2 and'the legs 6 in anycase'. Also each section of the galley is adapted to have a label holder associated therewith, placed on the front 3 of the galley in front of each section as indicated at 7. No specific type of label holder is illustrated and described in the present case as a specific form of label holder is the subject matter of another application for patent bearing Serial No. 284,310, filed June 11, 1928.

The invention has proved very practical and satisfactory. It is defined in the appended claims and is to be considered comprehensive of all forms of structure coming within their scope.

I claim 1. A printers galley comprising, a bottom, sides extending upwardly from opposite side edges of the bottom, an upwardly extending front at the front edge of said bottom, and a plurality of channels located with the webs thereof in contact with the upper side of the bottom and with the legs thereof extending upwardly, said channels being permanently secured to the bottom and having the legs thereof substantially parallel with said sides.

2. A printers galley comprising, a member of sheet metal having a horizontal bottom, vertical sides and a vertical front, and a plurality of channels of metal located with their webs against said bottom and with their legs extending vertically upward and parallel to said sides, said webs of the channel being permanently secured to said bottom.

3. A printers galley comprising, a tray of sheet metal having a horizontal flat bottom, sides extending vertically from the side edges of the bottom and a front extending vertically from the front edge of said bottom, means securing adjacent ends of the front and sides of the tray in fixed relation to each other and a plurality of channel members of sheet metal located over the bottom with their front ends bearing against the rear side of the front of the tray and with the webs thereof contacting with the upper side of said bottom and with the legs of said channels extending upwardly and lying substantially parallel to the sides of said tray, said webs and bottom being welded together.

4 A printers galley comprising, a tray having a horizontal fiat bottom, vertical sides atthe sideedges thereof and a vertical front at the front of said bottom, and a channel located with its web against said bottom, and with its legs extending vertically and parallel to said sides, said web of the channel being permanently secured to said bottom.

5. A printers galley comprising, a tray having a bottom and vertical sides and divis'ionmembers in the tray above the bottom between and parallel with the sides, each division member comprising two spaced apart vertical sides.

In testimony whereof I afl'ix m signature.
